The University of Ottawa Field Hockey Club strives to provide opportunities for members to experience personal development, create social connections, live an active lifestyle, and have fun through the sport of field hockey. We value sportsmanship, fitness and health, integrity, inclusion, and community. This club is open to all skill levels.

The uOttawa Field Hockey Club was founded in September 2013 and began with 28 members. Today, there are 54 active members of our club with students from both the University of Ottawa and Carleton University. In the fall, practices are held at Strathcona Park in Sandy Hill. Once winter and the snow comes, the field hockey team has indoor practices at Carleton University Fieldhouse or Norm Fenn Gym.
